TV Blaupunkt won't turn on - Help me!

Good evening
I have a Blaupunkt TV model 49/148Z that has been working well for a while
Out of the blue, the TV starts acting up: it powers on, the screen lights up with the "Blaupunkt" logo, and then it turns off immediately after, after about 10-15 seconds
What’s strange is that by spamming (turning it on, waiting for it to turn off, then turning it back on) for 10-15 minutes, the TV turns on and works fine. Gradually, it stays on longer and longer before turning off until it no longer turns off after a while
I’ve tried several things:
- unplugging the TV for 15-20 minutes and plugging it back in
- plugging it into another outlet
- resetting the TV
- unplugging all peripherals (HDMI, USB…)
None of that resolved the issue. What could it be?
Thank you in advance :)

Good evening,
What could it be due to?
A defective component inside, but it's hard to know which one from a distance via a forum.
Let's assume this television is no longer under warranty, so in this context, there are two possibilities: either have it repaired or invest in a new television.

Good evening,
thank you for your response!
Indeed, it is no longer under warranty.
I don't know much about TVs, but I'm quite handy; I found while searching that it could be a capacitor. Is there any "risk" in changing it before contacting a repair technician?
